ANALYSIS: Politicians must accept climate change and the economy are linked

Time is a precious commodity. And it is rapidly running out for the Federal Government on two key fronts.

It's now clear that it is not just rising sea levels that pose challenges for Australia as rural output declines and the economy takes a direct hit — not from drowning, but burning. It's a stance that has put it at loggerheads with an increasingly desperate Reserve Bank now being forced to canvas an array of unpalatable policy options in an effort to stave off recession.

Why MUST they? Stops the lies. The evidence isn’t clear and we can’t do anything anyway. If these people have an issue protest against China and India. Until you do you aren’t serious

So now it’s cash for comments financed by the Renewables sector - the ABC is rotten to the core! climatehangeIsAHoax

They sure are

Ok Doomer. okdoomer

Ok Doomer

GRAND SOLAR MINIMUM

Defund the ABC now

Why?

sure there’s a link, but in the negative. there’s a reason why greens will never run australia or any govts around the world,

Bollocks.

I thought the science of climate change was about saving all life on earth, rather than the economy, but what would I know?

Yes... And we pay you over a $billion for the privilege of pushing that stupid Hoax...!!! No one gets paid more than you lot of scammers... Do they...? So there's that...!!!

Analysis and Ian Verrander can’t be used in the same sentence. Ian only gives his opinion like he did on the May election outcome and Billy TheirABC FakeNews Propaganda auspol qldpol

That’s what stupid people say, people who care more about their own personal wealth, power and greed. Ohhh ABC news is pushing this well everyone know their Fake News!!!

Everything is linked to climate change according to theirABC What a bunch of ❄

The ABC must accept that it is a fake news turd factory.

They must also admit that if the US goes to zero carbon, it won't even be a blip on the world stage. China, India, etc, will continue with fossil fuels because they want the lifestyle fossil fuels have given us. Appreciate what we have and work for a better tomorrow.

Course they are, do the pie in the sky stuff some of the climate 'experts' want and the economy will tank. Pretty simple.

Bullshit...

ScottMorrisonMP needs to locate is backbone and shut you down.

Course they are linked. If you want to pursue the lefts version of a climate change agenda then the economy is stuffed.

If their voters don't, they won't. And many of their voters have more trust in a TV commentator than CSIRO when it comes to a scientific topic.

Australia had already been labeled the Land or Drought and Flooding rain long before 1908. But of course Our ABC can always scare the pants of the kids by telling them its all happening because of Climate Change caused by those Older People who don't care. How divisive is that?

Nonsense. Side note: Epstein didn't kill himself.

AngryGranny1 Yep

What epic crap

Ban the UN! Communist

The last sentence sums up what this junk science-based climate change hysteria is really all about: it's big business, and they're laughing all the way to the bank.

ABC stop pushing these lies

The numbers dont make ANY sense 'we gotta do something' But if bacteria on earth alone produce several fold more Co2 than ALL human Co2 yearly output what point is there in this ? Not even mentioning ocean vapor Its about control Its about Globalism Agenda21

Evil Agenda Using Edward L Bernays PR spin to CONVINCE good meaning people to give up their freedom & sovereignty while feeling good about their future enslavement

They already told us this They ADMIT IT Its a Globalist agenda Biggest fraud in science being used to push the most dictatorial policy ever in history of free humankind WAKE UP !! Agenda21 Agenda2030

More proof the ABCaustralia must be shutdown by LiberalAus & ScottMorrisonMP. It’s assets sold off to pay down Australian debt.

And that is has NOTHING to do with CO2, we are more likely going to cool and that is a more dangerous proposition.

Who said so? ABC? you're not the Government. Go away. You're an opinion. I don't believe you

This LNP Government will prove to be Australia's most arrogant uncaring Government in Australia's history .A Surplus is all they care about, unemployed people live in poverty, Regional Hospitals are third world. No Air/co in Schools in 40 degree heat. No equipment to fight fires

OK Doomers Surely it is now time to change your name to abcopinion? And get your own funding from those whose views you always serve?

Crap.

Most of them just don't care as they will most likely be dead before the truly catastrophic effects take hold and they're determined to screw everyone else while they have the chance

Accepting green unemployed nutters is a sign of disaster.

People don’t set up shops where there are no customers, so don’t set up farms where there is no rain.

The climate is an abstraction it is not a real thing and its definition is such that is is always changing, without any input from forces as tiny as those humans can currently muster. Furthermore it is almost impossible to predict as we don't know all the large scale variables.

the climate has always changed, naturally, and always will naturally. what needs to happen, is a reminder needs to be sent to all politicians, Media, courts, police & all Australian's That it is the duty of Everyone, to Obey the Constitution 1901. This is not optional. It is LAW!

Scotty Boy will not, ever, neither will Frydenberg.

Where is Scott Morrison or any of his leadership team?

...the entire religion of economics doesnt recognise the economy and the ecosystem are linked...

Linking drought to Climate Change is junk science. Federation drought 1895-1903 is still the worst drought on record. South Eastern Aust, between 1788-1860 27 drought yrs. Between 1860-2000 10 drought yrs. Source, Federation Drought-National Museum web site.

Bullshit. Prove it.

Yes they want to tax the air and give it to the even richer. Who will not put it into research, to properly develop energy alternatives. It will be squandered warmongering.

As long as we are focused on the politicians, and not the lobbying, we will be stuck in this ridiculous rhetoric.

Nothing to see here, just the fair and unbiased only pushing one side of the issue as per usual.

Pushing politics again ABC Instead of reporting news . Many are a wake up to agenda 21. You will not win !

Way past time to privatise the ABC. Interesting to see how the snowflakes would cope in the real world

We need action Now!

Have we withdrawn from the Kyoto Protocols re reducing CO2 levels?

ABC FAKE NEWS MUST ACCEPT FAKE NEWS

What exactly do you mean by climate change?

If we take unnecessary “ action “ on climate change our economy will fall apart .... yes , true .

True. Bad economy equals less renewable innovation. We don't even have a recycling centre in Vic yet. It all goes in land fill.

How very socialist, how very ABC.

Yes you are right. With a poorer economy we won't have the means to develop clean energy alternatives like wind, solar, tidal etc and in order to produce enough power to keep the lights on, the factories running and creating employment we will have to burn coal and lots of it.

Nuuuuuu

Sounds like expert advice. The LNP will ignore it. LibFAIL auspol

Live look at these people

Coal fired steam engines don't accelerate climate change, stick to business Ian.

Cool thanks for this
